I've been having some issues that are making me worried. I'm a 21-year-old male, and I've noticed that if I drink a lot of water, within just 15 to 30 minutes I get an urgent need to pee and can't seem to hold it for long. I end up going to the bathroom 2 to 3 times within an hour. Also, if I eat more than usual, I feel like I need to use the latrine right away. I do have a 7mm kidney stone, and my doctor advised me to drink plenty of water. But now, with these symptoms, I'm starting to wonder if they could be related to diabetes. Could that be a possibility? It's really starting to bother me, and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Causes and Concerns_

  1. Antibiotic side effect: As you mentioned, the antibiotic Advent can cause loose motions.
  2. Dehydration risk: Frequent loose motions can lead to dehydration in infants.

Current Treatment

  1. Enterogermina: You're already giving this probiotic, which can help maintain gut health.

Additional Measures

  1. Consult your pediatrician: Inform your doctor about the frequent loose motions and ask for guidance.
  2. Oral rehydration solution (ORS): Your pediatrician might recommend an ORS like Pedialyte or Electral to help replace lost fluids and electrolytes.
  3. Breastfeeding or formula feeding: Continue breastfeeding or formula feeding as usual to help your baby stay hydrated and nourished.
  4. Monitor for dehydration: Keep an eye on your baby's urine output, stool frequency, and overall behavior. If you notice any signs of dehydration, such as fewer wet diapers, dry mouth, or sunken eyes, seek medical attention immediately.
